    November 10, 2023 - Enormously concentrated tawny style of port wine. Loads of raisins and the alcohol is noticeable, but the latter is no real surprise. Great wine.

    October 11, 2007 - Penfolds Tasting - St Regis: Very light molasses in color. Very complex nose with notes of lightly raisened fruit, toffee, malt and a touch of vanilla. Intense flavors. Rich and concentrated, but very light on its feet.

    March 11, 2006 - Dinner in Canberra (Canberra, Australia): A generous gesture by David at the end of the evening to open this for us. A complex, intense nose of roasted walnuts, oak, caramel, toffee, rancio and raisins as well as some initial alcoholic heat. The front of the palate lacks balance with alcohol and oak dominating - still has a very nice rich texture to it as well as shrugging off the imbalance at the mid-palate stage and shows a 30+ second finish.
